On the subject of stripper Rude I just want to throw in that his matches with Warrior at that time were awesome! Rude played his part perfectly and managed to get both him and Warrior more over. "All you fat, out of shape, Summerslam sweathogs" Speaking of that line I love how at one PPV (one of the SummerSlams I think) he says it and the camera shows a fan who is just the personification of it. So mean, but I can't help but chuckle!

I love when wrestlers do the whole training for a big title match mode where they even abstain from the things that provide them with pleasure and distraction (i.e. the "Rude Awakenings"). It always gives the match more of a big fight feel. The thought of Rude being let go for talking about the Bossman's mother is hilarious when one considers all of the things that Bossman did when he was super over the top evil heel Bossman messing with Al Snow and the Big Show. Jack Tunney doesn't take too kindly to people talking jive about other people's mommas (although why he let Lawler skate on all the jokes he made at Helen Hart's expense for years on end is a mystery)! His suspension was so long that it out lived the rest of Tunney's tenure by two years!

Apparently he was the only guy of that era who never cheated on his wife and even wore his wedding ring when he wrestled, according to bret hart's book. Before this thread i didn't realize the depth Rick had as a performer, being both a cartoony character in the wwf, and a badass both in WCW and ECW. I read somewhere that he was gonna work with Hogan at WCW but he got injured. I will always remember him for being the only man to ever appeared on both Raw and Nitro at the same time, while wearing the same clothes even.

One thing that WCW got over the WWF: Top badass heel Rude. He was just great. How the hell he's not in the HOF yet? Did he give the rude awakening to Steph before Savage did?
